8. Charging Principles

8.1 Subject to paragraph 8.2, the charges payable to the Service Provider in relation to
the implementation of the Service Transfer Plan shall be agreed in writing by the
Parties and calculated in accordance with the charging principles set out in Annex D
to Schedule 9 (Change Control Request Procedure).

Service Transfer Plan.

8.3 From a Trigger Date, the Service Provider shall:

(A) re-issue, on a weekly basis, an updated Service Transfer Plan (or such
portion of it as TfL may direct) until the End Date; and

(B) regularly report (in an agreed format) on the progress of exit / service transfer

8.5 In addition to the obligations set out in paragraph 8.3, above, the Service Provider
shall develop and maintain a risk assessment document for all exit activities. The
Service Provider shall plan and implement contingency arrangements in respect of

TfL.

9. Assignment of Relevant Licences and Agreements

9.1 The Service Provider shall, subject to the provisions of Clause 39 (Licensing of
Intellectual Property Rights), use reasonable endeavours to procure that, if notified
by TfL that the Service Provider should do so, after the Trigger Date and on or prior
to the Termination Date, Partial Termination Date or the Expiry Date (as
appropriate) (the relevant date in each case being the “End Date”) each of the Sub-
Contracts and any other contracts relating to the provision of the Services entered
into by the Service Provider and each licence relating to any Licensed Materials as
referred to in the Service Transfer Plan, as required in accordance with paragraph
6.1(M)(20) of this schedule is, subject to Clause 39 (Licensing of Intellectual
Property Rights), assigned, transferred or novated (at no cost) to TfL or the New
Service Provider, at TfL’s direction. The Licensed Materials to which each such
assigned, transferred or novated licence relates shall in each case be the latest
version of the Licensed Materials that is used by the Service Provider and/or the
relevant Sub-Contractor in the provision of the Services.

9.2 Upon receipt from the Service Provider of all required Third Party consents in
respect of a Sub-Contract or a contract relating to the provision of the Services
entered into by the Service Provider or Software licence to which paragraph 9.1
applies (a “Relevant Contract”), the Service Provider shall, as soon as reasonably
practicable, assign, transfer or novate the Relevant Contract to which the Third
Party consent relates to the New Service Provider, as TfL may direct (the date from
which such assignment, novation or transfer becomes effective being the “RC
Transfer Date”).

9.3 Until such time as it can be assigned, novated or transferred pursuant to paragraph
9.2, in respect of each Relevant Contract, the Service Provider shall unless
contractually prevented from so doing, sub-contract the rights and obligations of the
Service Provider under such contracts to TfL or the New Service Provider (if not
TfL), as TfL may direct, on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, and for the same
rates of remuneration (without imposing any margin) as apply to the contracts
concerned at all times without prejudice to Clauses 39 (Licensing of Intellectual
Property Rights) and 40 (General Provisions relating to Intellectual Property Rights)
(the date from which each such sub-contracting becomes effective being the “RC
Sub-Contract Date”).

9.4 Where prevented from sub-contracting pursuant to paragraph 9.3 of this schedule,
the Service Provider shall hold the rights and benefits under the Relevant Contract
in trust for TfL or the relevant New Service Provider absolutely from the End Date
until such Third Party consent is obtained and the Relevant Contract is so assigned,
transferred or novated (the date from which each such holding of rights and benefits
on trust becomes effective being the “RC Trust Date”). The Service Provider shall,
whilst so holding the rights and benefits under the Relevant Contract in trust as
aforesaid, in the performance of its obligations and the exercise of its rights under
the Relevant Contract, seek and act at all times in accordance with the instructions
of TfL in order to secure the performance of the Relevant Contract and shall deliver

11/17333677_1 10
Enforcement Operations- Schedule 16 (Exit Plan)

to (or shall procure that there is delivered to) TfL, as soon as practicable following
receipt by the Service Provider, any notice or other document concerning or relating
to the Relevant Contract.

9.5 If:

(A) the Service Provider holding a Relevant Contract on trust for the benefit of
TfL or a New Service Provider would result in the breach of the Relevant
Contract; or

(B) any Third Party consent is not obtained by the End Date,

then the Relevant Contract shall be deemed to have not been transferred to TfL (or
such New Service Provider) and, in either case, the Parties shall make such other
reasonably practicable arrangements between themselves which will, without (in the
case of paragraph 9.5(A) above) giving rise to such a breach, and so far as is
practicable, secure rights for TfL or the relevant New Service Provider equivalent to
those it would have enjoyed had the benefit of the Relevant Contract been
transferred to it and for relieving the Service Provider from all liability under the
Relevant Contract with effect from the End Date.

9.6 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any document effecting
any assignment, novation or transfer in accordance with this schedule, a New
Service Provider shall not have any liability for any claim which may be made
against the Service Provider for or in respect of any breach by the Service Provider
prior to the relevant RC Sub-Contract Date or the RC Transfer Date (as applicable)
of any term or obligation under any of the Relevant Contracts or failure by the
Service Provider prior to the relevant RC Sub-Contract Date and/or the RC Transfer
Date (as applicable) to perform any of its obligations thereunder.

9.7 The Service Provider shall indemnify the relevant New Service Provider (and TfL if
TfL is not the New Service Provider) against the amount of any claim which may be
made against them for or in respect of any breach by the Service Provider prior to
the RC Transfer Date or RC Sub-Contract Date (as appropriate) of any term or
obligation under any of the Relevant Contracts or failure by the Service Provider
prior to the RC Transfer Date or RC Sub-Contract Date (as appropriate) to perform
any of its obligations thereunder. A New Service Provider shall have the right to
enforce the terms of this paragraph 9.

9.8 TfL shall:

(A) indemnify the Service Provider against the amount of any claim which may
be made against it for or in respect of any breach by TfL (or a New Service
Provider (as applicable)) of any obligation under any Relevant Contract to
the extent that such term or obligation is sub-contracted to TfL or a New
Service Provider (as applicable) pursuant to paragraph 9.3 from the
relevant RC Sub-Contract Date; and/or

(B) reimburse the Service Provider for any amounts properly paid as charges in
respect of the services received by TfL (to the extent such services are solely
received by TfL) under any Relevant Contract to the extent that the Service
Provider holds the rights and benefits under the Relevant Contract on trust
for TfL pursuant to paragraph 9.4 from the relevant RC Trust Date,

11/17333677_1 11
Enforcement Operations- Schedule 16 (Exit Plan)

in each case until such date (if any) as the sub-contracting or holding on trust
ceases to be effective in accordance with paragraph 9.5 provided that:

(1) TfL shall be entitled to assume conduct of the defence of each such
claim;

(2) the Service Provider shall not, without the prior written consent of TfL,
settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with
respect to any pending or threatened action in respect of which
indemnification may be sought under this paragraph 9.8; and

(3) the Service Provider provides all information reasonably required by TfL
in connection with the defence of each such claim.

9.9 The Service Provider shall carry out Data checking, verification, cleansing, review,
quality analysis and assurance, integrity testing and migration as set out in the
Service Transfer Plan or as otherwise directed in writing by TfL (acting reasonably)
from time to time (at the sole cost and expense of the Service Provider) so as to
ensure that to the extent within the control of the Service Provider:

(A) Data or Data extracts are received by the New Service Provider (or TfL if
applicable) and/or any Third Parties nominated by TfL or the New Service
Provider;

(B) all Data being migrated to the New Service Provider remain available to
and useable by TfL, Other Service Providers and Third Parties during such
migration;

(C) the migration of Data to the New Service Provider envisaged under this
paragraph 9.9 does not result in Data loss, corruption or impairment;

(D) all Data migrated to the New Service Provider are accurate, up to date and
complete;

(E) all Data migrated to the New Service Provider are reconciled including
without limitation by carrying out referential integrity checks between each
part of the Service Systems to ensure that Data stored in each part of the
Service Systems are consistent and correct; and

(F) all Data are fit for the purposes of their use and processing in connection
with the Services or services materially similar to the Services (provided
that such services involve the use and processing of Data in a materially
similar format to the Services).

9.10 The Service Provider shall promptly, at its own expense, remedy any breach by the
Service Provider of paragraph 9.9 of this schedule. Should it fail to do so within
such period as TfL may reasonably specify, TfL shall be entitled to take such action
to remedy such breach as TfL deems appropriate (including but not limited to using
one or more Third Parties) and the Service Provider shall promptly on demand
reimburse to TfL all costs and expenses it incurs in relation to such actions
(including, without limitation, the costs and expenses of a New Service Provider or
of TfL).
